10:31:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:31:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:31:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:31:43 User actions detected.
10:31:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:31:43 Dome is MaxDome
10:31:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:31:43 Imager is ASCOM
10:31:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:31:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250614@103123 UTC
10:31:43 Imager readout modes:
10:31:43   0 is Fast
10:31:43   1 is Normal
10:31:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:31:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:31:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:31:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:31:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:31:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:31:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:31:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:31:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:33:52   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:33:52   [sync] pointing model updated
10:33:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:33:52   Target is now centered.

10:34:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161.003 Y=864.915
10:34:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:34:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:34:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.905 Y=951.9042
10:34:24   (guide star SNR=37.3 X=444 Y=952)
10:34:24   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:34:29 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:34:29 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:34:29 **Autoguiding failed.
